Today

Sing a song to praise the sun. Sing it loud before day is done. Sing a song to praise the moon. It always seems to leave too soon. Today is the fortuitous day the little elephant is given away. You would sadly miss giving it a goodbye kiss. Marching to the sound of the drum, sounds of a monotonous thrum. Syncopate the sound instead. Dance to the song in your head. Never frown for your face may freeze and you would not be able to sneeze. People would fear to look at you. They'd rather see your smile come through. Always show your best face filled with love and glowing grace. Life is short, my little dear, adorn your days with gleeful cheer!
